                                PROGRAM

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, for the information of all Senators, there 
will be no further rollcall votes today.
  The Senate will be in pro forma session on Friday, and there will be 
no session on Monday in recognition of the Jewish holy day.
  The next rollcall votes will occur at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday in a back-
to-back sequence, if there are two votes, with the first vote on 
cloture on the bankruptcy bill, and the second vote on the nomination 
of Ted Stewart, if one is required.

  The Senate may also consider the Department of Defense authorization 
conference report under a 2-hour time limit.
  Finally, the fiscal year is coming to an end. Therefore, Members 
should expect late sessions during next week, and they should 
anticipate being in session each day--Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and 
Friday--so that we can complete action on the Department of Defense 
authorization conference report, the Interior appropriations bill, the 
HUD, and the Veterans' Administration appropriations bills, and any 
other actions that can be cleared.
  I think we have made good progress today in spite of the rain and 
sometimes windy weather. I think we made the right decision to stay 
here. As a result of us staying and working today, we passed the 
Treasury and Postal Service appropriations conference report, the 
District of Columbia appropriations conference report, and the 
Transportation appropriations bill, and have put in place a process to 
move a number of Federal judicial nominations.
  I thank my colleagues for their patience, and for being here today as 
we have made that effort.
